如何避免托福写作空洞

  托福写作语言要平时,但是中国学生的作文最大特点是语言空洞,看似有道理,但禁不起推敲,这恰巧和托福写作备考的要求相悖。透视托福写作评分标准,一篇好的作文段落中需要包含主题句、合理的解释、以及例子的支撑。

  究竟如何避免托福写作空洞呢,一诺留学托福培训老师给出了一下几点建议。

  建议一: 避免空洞的单词和词组

  1. 在托福写作考试中,一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子:

  When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfyinglives than those of their parents, in my opinion.

  这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:

  Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.

  2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换,例如:

  Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to helptheir parents, they did not have the options that young people have at thispoint in time.

  “due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:

  Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did nothave the options that young people have now.

  建议二: 避免重复

  1.在托福写作考试中,尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子:

  The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.

  large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:

  The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.

  更简洁的表达方式为:

  My grandfather grew up on a large farm.

  2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换,例如:

  My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on hisparents' farm.

  这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁:

  My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents'farm
